Chocolate Cake
- 60 grams Cake flour
- 40 grams Almond flour
- 80 grams Sugar
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 10 grams Cocoa powder
- 3 Eggs
- 3 grams Baking powder
- 120 grams Chocolate bar
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 150 grams Confectionery chocolate
- Mix the room temperature butter and sugar well with a whisk.
- Whisk egg white until it becomes white.
- Add it to step 1 littler at a time and mix well between each additions.
- Sift the flours and add it to step 2.
- Mix gently with a spatula.
- Pour the dough in a butter coated cake pan.
- Tap the bottom and eliminate air pockets.
- Bake in a 170C preheated oven for about 30 minutes.
- Stick a toothpick through the cake and when nothing sticks to it, then it is ready.
- Make the creamy chocolate while letting step 5 cool.
- Chop up the chocolate bars.
- Heat up heavy cream until it is right about to boil.
- Then stop the fire, add the chocolate and melt it.
- When step 5 becomes cool enough that you can touch it with your hands, cut off the broken part and cut the rest into 2 pieces.
- Put back the part which would be the bottom back in the cake pan.
- Pour the creamy chocolate from step 6 and place the other half of cake on.
- Cover with a cellophane wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator.
- Turn the cake pan over a cake cooler.
- I don't have a cake cooler, so I use grill + shallow container for this, and take the cake out.
- It would be easier to take the cake out if you warm up the sides.
- Melt the confectionery chocolate over hot water.
- Pour it over the cake and coat it.
- Let it chill to harden again....and it is ready !
- You can also decorate it like this using a chocolate decorating pen.
